"I've been using this in my bath bombs for strength and hardness and it works great. But I've noticed on the bath bombs that are not colored with any micas and are intended to be white, that they are turning a brownish color. Could this be caused by the kaolin clay? If so, is there anything that I can add that will prevent this from happening?"

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer It might be the fragrance that is doing this. The kaolin clay should not turn the bath bombs brown. If your fragrance contains vanilla, you might want to use the Vanilla Color Stabilizer for CP soap.

Staff Answer Kaolin clay is a hardener that works best in bath fizzies and soap. You can add this to the bath whip to help thicken it. Adding a small amount of MP soap will also help to firm up the bath whip. Adding Bubble Wash Thickener at about 2% to the base will also help.

Staff Answer We have typically have used and have seen kaolin clay being mixed with the dry ingredients. Maybe the softness is a result of other ingredients in the recipe? Salt can attract moisture to bath bombs making them softer or humidity can affect them. Make sure they are not drying near an air conditioner or humidifier.

If you are asking how much clay you can use in 2 lbs of melt and pour I would start with a tablespoon mix well and see how it looks to you. You don't want to put so much clay that it all sinks to the bottom. It's also good to wait for the soap to cool a bit before incorporating clay. Hope I answered the question you were asking :)

One to two tablespoons per pound of melt and pour soap base. Mix first with a small amount of distilled water using a mini mixer. This will prevent clay from clumping in your soap.

If you are using our Crystal Clear Shower Gel the clay may separate and fall to the bottom. If you are using our Liquid Suspension Soap Base then you should not have any issued with separation.

Clay shouldn't go bad so long as it has been kept dry. If exposed to moisture it can grow mold (as most things can when wet). But so long as it has been stored dry it should pretty much last forever since it is a clay mineral.

Clay absorbs water, so yes, it can make soap batter thicker. Too much can cause soap "drag", unless that's what you're going for. Figuring out how much clay to use to get your desired results can come by adding at different stages during soapmaking.

the rose kaolin clay is used only in cosmetics from what ive read. it increases circulation and can also be used to add a silky feel to soaps and lotions. the white kaolin clay is much more versitile and can be used in a wide variety of applications. it does not absorb oil so it is extremely useful for those with dry skin. i would assume the price difference is so great because the white clay is more common than the rose, but i cant say for sure. i hope that helps!

Kaolin Clay's come in several different colors, but they are all made of kaolinite and the mildest of all clay's. The Rose Kaolin is tinted with Iron Oxide (info gathered from the MSDS sheets), which gives a lovely pink/rose tint to products. They are both excellent for sensitive skins. The cost difference may be associated with processing to keep it a consistent Pink as the Iron Oxide can create a red, yellow or orangish tint?

Kaolin clay is a gentle exfoliant. It does not draw oils from the skin, which makes it great to use on dry or sensitive skin.

Kaolin clay is the mildest of all the clays and also the least absorbent. It is known to gently exfoliate and cleanse skin without drawing out all of the beneficial oils in your skin. This makes it great for all skin types, but especially sensitive, dry or mature skin.

I believe kaolin clay has been used to help purify, nourish, soothe and heal different skin types. It is commonly used as a facial mask since it is chemical free, not to mention the fact that it is cheap than other ingredients. I love that its mild on the skin too.
